In Response To: Thanks for playing IRIS and Believe (AKQA) : Good morning everyone. : We just wanted to take a second at the end of the year to thank all of you : for playing with us this past year. We are AKQA, the agency who worked : with Bungie to create the IRIS ARG (http://halo.wikibruce.com/Characters) : and the Halo 3 BELIEVE experience (www.halo3.com/believe). : Our goal through all of this has been to expand the Halo world, making it : possible for fans to keep playing even when they are not sitting with a : controller in their hand. And thanks to gamers like you, both of this : year's efforts turned out to be a huge success. In fact, you may have been : too good at participating: there were moments back in IRIS where you were : solving episodes just as fast as we were creating new ones. Your : speculations were so solid in fact, that we included some of your ideas in : the next steps of the campaign as well as in the back-story of the Believe : characters. : We hope it was as much fun for you to participate as it was for us to create. : Also - the Halo 3 Believe site is currently up for the Flash Website of the : year. If you have a moment, please link over there and click VOTE for Halo : 3:Believe. http://www.thefwa.com/pca2007/ : The more people who hear about it, the more people we can get involved in : Halo 3. : Thanks for all the excitement, we will see you in multiplayer, : AKQA The Believe campaign was amazing, even if the video interviews with veterans did get a little repetitive. They could have done with more imagination and broader plots, rather than the constant retelling of how great 117 is/was. The museum one and the hunted one, for me, really stuck out as fantastic works. The less said about Iris the better. I don't mean to rain on your parade, you did an admirable job, but I thought it was pretty mediocre in it's storytelling techniques and overall ending... it just kind of fizzled out with no pay-off. ILB was much better, you could learn a thing or two for refining your craft here, not that I could personally do better. - Charley
